Method

Beef Patty Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Beef Patty

    In a large bowl, combine ground beef, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

  2. 2

    Shape the Patties

    Divide the beef mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties that are slightly larger than the burger buns.

  3. 3

    Cook the Beef Patties

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the beef patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 70°C (160°F).

Italian Sausage Patty Preparation

  1. 4

    Make the Sausage Patty

    In another bowl, combine ground pork, fennel seeds, paprika, salt, and red pepper flakes. Mix until all ingredients are thoroughly blended.

  2. 5

    Shape the Sausage Patties

    Form the sausage mixture into two patties of the same size as the beef patties.

  3. 6

    Cook the Sausage Patties

    In the same skillet or grill used for the beef patties, cook the sausage patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side until fully cooked through and browned.

Assembling the Sandwich

  1. 7

    Melt the Cheese

    Place the cooked beef patty on the grill or skillet and top it with mozzarella cheese. Cover until the cheese melts, about 1-2 minutes.

  2. 8

    Add Marinara and Pepperoni

    On the beef patty with melted cheese, carefully place the cooked sausage patty on top, then add marinara sauce and pepperoni slices.

  3. 9

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Place the assembled patties on the bottom half of the burger bun, then cover with the top half. Serve immediately with your choice of sides.
